Chapter 400
Cui Shu watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, and then looked down at the box held in the hands of the nurse, and couldn't help sighing softly.

"Lang Jun, shall we go back?" the guard asked in a low voice.

"Go back..." He sighed faintly, and then he turned back and got into his carriage.

Here, He Lingjiang returned to the He Mansion, and told He Xiangshan about the past where the eldest princess had specially called her.

Sure enough, within two days, the son-in-law He Yan invited He Xiangshan to drink tea.

He Xiangshan got off the carriage and looked up at the teahouse in front of him. The surrounding environment of this teahouse is very quiet. Along the way, there are sparse shadows and slanting, clear and shallow water, and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms floating in the tip of the nose. It is a good place to drink tea.

However, when He Yan was called here, it must not be as simple as drinking tea.

Under the guidance of his servants, He Xiangshan entered a small courtyard. As soon as he entered the tea room, he saw He Yan kneeling in front of the small table cooking tea.

He quickly scanned the room, the small tea room was decorated very elegantly and simply, except that there was a screen not far away, covering the scene behind, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

His eyes paused for a moment on the screen, then he turned around calmly, and slightly bowed his hands to He Yan: "My son-in-law."

He Yan smiled and called out his words: "Boyu, you're alienating me like this."

He pointed to the opposite side: "The tea is ready, please sit down and have a taste."

He Xiangshan smiled, and sat down as he said: "Why did you remember to invite me to drink tea?"

He Yan raised his eyebrows: "What are you talking about? Could it be that I can't invite you to drink tea if I have nothing to do?"

He Xiangshan bowed his head to taste the tea, smiled without saying a word, it would be natural to invite him to drink tea, but there is no need to find such a remote and quiet place.

He just walked all the way, and saw that there were no other tea guests here, and there were hidden guards outside the courtyard.

Being so cautious, he naturally knew the purpose of He Yan's trip.

After a cup of tea, He Xiangshan glanced at the screen: "Isn't the eldest princess coming out to sit?"

A laugh came from behind the screen, and then the eldest princess in casual clothes turned around the screen and came out: "He Zhongcheng is really sharp."

He Xiangshan got up and cupped his hands: "The eldest princess is too famous."

The eldest princess sneered, took a seat in front of the little table, raised her hand and straightened her sleeves slightly: "I never praised you. However, after many years, He Zhongcheng has become more thoughtful and resourceful!"

coming!

He Xiangshan knew it in his heart, but his face was still puzzled: "Princess, what do you mean?"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and looked at him sharply: "About Ling Jiang, you have nothing to say?"

He Xiangshan asked suspiciously: "Ling Jiang is the daughter of my He family, what does the eldest princess want to know?"

The eldest princess's face was slightly cold, and she said coldly: "He Xiangshan, since I'm asking you now, I naturally checked everything out, and you don't want to play sloppy with me here again."

As she said that, she had already listed many things she had found out.

"I already have a guess in my mind about this matter. I came here today just to hear a certain letter from you."

He Xiangshan's face was slightly condensed, and he said solemnly: "So what if the eldest princess insists on asking for a letter? Could it be that you still want Ling Jiang to return to the royal family?"

As soon as these words came out, the princess's hanging heart finally settled down, and he admitted it.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why not? Since Ling Jiang is the daughter of my royal family, it is natural that she should return to the royal family and become a high-ranking princess."

"Do you really think that it is better for Ling Jiang to be the princess of the royal family now than to be the seventh lady of the He family?" He Xiangshan asked back.

The princess of the royal family may sound like a beautiful woman, but Jiang has no parents behind her, and being the only heir of Prince Yiwen, she is also embarrassing in the court.

It would be fine if this current one is magnanimous, but if he is against her, life in the palace might not be that easy.

What's more, Ling Jiang has grown up now, once she returns to the royal family, she will have the final say on her marriage, so it's hard to say what kind of person will be pointed out for her at that time.

But if it was in He's residence, he would not neglect Ling Jiang's wishes, even if she intervened, if she didn't want to, he, the grandpa, could fight back.

Of all the above, the eldest princess would not have missed it, but she was unwilling to let A Ran's only daughter recognize him as a father.

She watched Aran grow up, and after the palace change, she almost died with a serious illness.

Now that she knows that Aran still has a son alive, she naturally thinks that this child can recognize his ancestor and return to his family. Aran's branch can be regarded as a blood inheritance.

Letting Jiang Ruo be just an ordinary or slightly capable little lady, she will naturally be able to live a stable life in the He family, but looking at her now, how can the He family support her?

She looked at He Xiangshan and said, "I naturally understand He Zhongcheng's worries."

"It's just that although the He family is a century-old family, Jiang has been raised so well for so many years, but in Yingdu, after all, it is no better than it was back then...Look, Jiang was born noble. The children of the clan who are far inferior to her have to bow their knees. As an aunt, how do I feel?"

"What's more, He Zhongcheng really thinks that the current Ling Jiang can be protected by the He family?"

He Xiangshan couldn't help jumping in his heart, yes, even he had asked himself many times, how long can the He family protect Ling Jiang?

Now that Ling Jiang has been in the Department of Unfaithfulness and has been involved in government affairs, there will be many complicated things coming, and it is difficult to avoid open and hidden arrows.With the current He family alone, it is impossible for her to have no worries.

Because of this, he thought to ask He Shi to stand more firmly on the court hall, more firmly.At that time, whether it is the He family or Ling Jiang, the person above will not move easily.

However, even if it is a century-old family, it is difficult to resist the powerful blow of the emperor.

The eldest princess looked at his expression, and slowly persuaded: "Ling Jiang is not an ordinary girl after all. Although the He family can protect her for a while, they can't protect her for a lifetime. Although there are many disadvantages in the royal family, it may be good to use it. It can't be her benefit. Standing high enough and stable enough is good for Ling Jiang and He Shi."

"Let's talk about Ling Jiang's ability, the emperor now looks at it very much, but the He family and Ling Jiang are nothing more than a knife to him. After the palace is destroyed, what should we do?"

"But if Ling Jiang returns to the royal family at this time, it will be different." The eldest princess understands the emperor's thoughts completely, but she is not far behind.

"After all, she is just a little lady, not a son of a son. Even if the emperor has a grudge against her, he will not be too serious. When the emperor wants to use her, it is the right time to restore her identity."

"As long as Ling Jiang doesn't endanger his throne, the addition of such a princess is nothing more than an extra jewel on the crown for him."

"As for the future." The eldest princess's eyes darkened slightly, "As an aunt, I naturally want to protect her from any worries. You can rest assured that as long as she doesn't want to, I will not ask people in the royal family to embarrass her in marriage. .”

Seeing that He Xiangshan was about to speak, she waved her hand to stop his words, and continued: "Let me tell you the truth. In the past, Aran still had some old officials in the court. After all these years, although Aran is gone, the friendship in the past , They kept it in their hearts after all."

"With me and them here, Ling Jiang is not alone. Compared with the instability of your He family, it is most appropriate for her to return to the royal family and have someone secretly protect her."
